The flip side of that is you don't see much separation between QB prospects and you're mainly taking one because you were instructed to by higher ups to keep the mouth breathers that will get angry if Bortles is still on the roster come May buying tickets. In that case trading back to start stockpiling picks for next year or the year after when you have to take a QB again because you decided to flush a first rounder in a down year for QBs makes total sense.

Not to say I think that absolutely is the case, but the last reason you want to be taking a QB is because you're trying to fill a roster slot or sell tickets. It's quite possible that this year is 2013 again.
